The poor
milkman Tevye (Esko Roine).
There are
musicals with a huge staying power, and Viulunsoittaja katolla (Fiddler on the Roof) is one of
them. Since it´s Broadway opening night 1964 it has mirrored Jewish traditions,
tragedies, hopes, sense of humour and power
of love to millions of audiences all over the world, and now we happily welcome
it again to Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri´s main stage.
Each
generation interprets things of course on it´s own way, but this play has magic
that nobody can destroy, not even the sourest critic.
Today´s
Viulunsoittaja performance is perhaps more dynamic than nostalgic, everything
painted energetically with a broad brush and vivid colours, but towards the end
it does calm down beautifully.
I have to say that you must have a heart of stone
if you don´t love it...
The
happiness of the newlyweds: the tailor Motel (Antti Lang) and
Tevye´s oldest daughter
Tzeitel (Anna-Maija Tuokko).
